The presence of those two people was anything but ordinary.

According to the note I had written, Whitney and Taylor had already uncovered enough leads to dismantle several hideouts. The smaller players must have been dealt with long ago. That meant the people outside now were likely the real masterminds.

The woman from earlier had looked at me with open hostility, her gaze laced with an unmistakable intent to kill.

Was she the one pulling the strings behind the scenes? Otherwise, why would she hold such deep resentment toward Zoey?

It was clear that she knew who I was.

A shiver ran through me-part fear, part exhilaration.

Perhaps that was the closest I had ever been to my enemy.

I longed for vengeance.

But then, my eyes fell on my swollen belly. Carrying twins had made me look farther along than I actually was-though I was only five and a half months pregnant, my stomach appeared as if I were well past six.

In such a condition, I couldn't lift anything heavy, much less fight or run.

If I tried to attack, I would only end up hurting myself.

And with the bodyguards surrounding them, I wouldn't stand a chance. Any one of them could knock me out with a single hit.

I had no

way to strike first, nor could I take them down in secret.

So even with my enemies right in front of me, all I could do was focus on protecting myself.

As long as my children remained safe, all I could do now was survive long enough to find Carter.

I stayed in the bathroom for a long time, lost in thought, until a knock on the door snapped me back to reality.

Sergio's voice came through, tinged with concern. "Coco, are you okay?"

He sounded a little anxious, probably waiting outside for a while, ready to break down the door if I didn't respond.

I opened it, and he immediately noticed my red eyes. His voice softened. "What happened?"

My hands trembled as I shook my head. "I-I don't know. I've never even met your parents, but for some

reason, I feel terrified. I'm scared something will happen to my babies..."

Sergio's expression softened with a rare gentleness. "Don't worry. I'll keep all three of you safe."

I hesitated before asking, "Who exactly are your parents? They seem...

powerful."

"But I feel like your mother doesn't like me. Did I do something to offend her in the past?"

"Relationships with in-laws can be tricky. It's not unusual,"

"Are they planning to stay on the island permanently?"

"No, they just came to visit. If you're uncomfortable around them, you don't have to interact with them." Sergio seemed so gentle and considerate. But what was his true role in that organization?

He chose his words carefully, making it impossible for me to gather any useful information.

For the sake of my children, I knew I couldn't let my curiosity put me in danger. So, I did as he suggested and kept my distance.

Nevertheless, I monitored their movements closely. The helicopter remained grounded on the island. Were they hiding here as well?

After all, my unborn children weren't related to them. There was no reason for them to be here just to check

on me.

The island was completely cut off from the outside world, with no internet or communication signals. Aside from seeking refuge, I couldn't think of any other reason they would stay.

If I could send out even the smallest signal, I could bring them all down at once.

But I had no jewelry on me-nothing that could contain a hidden tracker. If I had ever worn something like that, Sergio must have already disposed of it.
